Chapter 143 Reach
Chapter 143 Reach
No matter what Song Zhe's thoughts were when he came here, or how confident he was, all he took away from the endless yellow sand on his way back were the medicines bought with real money.
After receiving the news, several other teams that had sneaked into Jiayuguan also left one after another.
On the city wall.
Li Xi looked at the crowd leaving the city and asked, "Are they all gone?"
Gu Jingzhi: "They left, but not all of them. They still won't give up."
They knew that the medicines and cement had been given to His Majesty, and His Majesty would naturally not let these things remain in the warehouse and gather dust, so they would definitely be able to get them.
But they also knew that compared to these things, the people behind them were more important, so they still did not give up. Each team left behind a few people to look for people in secret.
So, the person has indeed left, but not completely, and is still dreaming.
Li Xi tilted her head to look at him, "Did you do that on purpose?"
Gu Jingzhi did not deny it, and the corners of his lips rose slightly, "We have to give them some thoughts."
"And then, watch their hopes dashed?" Li Xi raised an eyebrow and commented, "Bad taste."
"The one who understands me best is Axi." Gu Jingzhi gladly accepted her evaluation, lowered his hand and held her hand.
Li Xi lowered his head to glance at their clasped hands. He seemed to be becoming more and more proficient at it now.
Retracting her gaze, Li Xi stood on the city wall and looked into the distance. She had rarely been out since she came to Jiayuguan. This was the first time she saw the city from this perspective.
The mountain behind him was covered in green, and in the distance was a vast yellow desert. As far as the eye could see, there was endless yellow sand. The dust blown by the wind was flying in the air, and the rough gravel was blown onto his face by the dust. Even though he had been here for a month, Li Xi still felt a little uncomfortable.
"The vast desert looks really stunning."
In front of this vast desert, people are so insignificant. Even though she is looking down from a high position, she still feels insignificant.
"It was really shocking. I was silent for a long time when I first saw the desert. The wind and sand outside the Great Wall filled the sky, and the yellow sand was endless. From a distance, it seemed to be connected to the sky. People were really small in it."
Feeling the warmth from his hands, Gu Jingzhi curled his lips. No matter how many times he had seen it, he still felt shocked when he saw it again. But the difference was that today, A Xi was also watching it with him. This feeling was completely different from the past, as if the rough wind had become a little softer.
"Do you feel desolate?" Li Xi looked at him. Coming from the bustling capital to this desolate place outside the Great Wall, how could a young boy like him be able to endure loneliness so well?
Gu Jingzhi did not take the initiative to mention his past to Li Xi. Li Xi learned about it from Doctor Wu. She knew his status in the capital, that even the Emperor Dayan favored him, and that he was considered a perfect son-in-law by many people in the capital and the object of many girls' affection.
Li Xi was not jealous about this. Although they had not known each other for a long time, Li Xi thought that she knew him well enough and he was not the kind of person who would change his mind easily.
Li Xi tilted her head to look at him. He was looking straight ahead with a distinct jaw angle and a firm gaze.
What's more, if he really likes someone, given his personality, he probably won't let go.
“It’s desolate. I don’t know how many people have failed here. How could it not be desolate?
But it also breeds endless vitality. "Gu Jingzhi looked at the people coming out of the city gate, "Every grain of sand here carries the traces of time and the weight of history.
Countless lives are buried here, but countless lives are also born here. "
Although Gu Jingzhi grew up in luxury, he never regretted coming to the border and protecting the people with his flesh and blood.
A real man is born in this world and he should make achievements and protect the people.
Li Xi could feel his sincerity. She said nothing but just held his hand tightly.
The two men stood side by side on the city wall in silence, and the only sounds they could hear were the voices of the people below and the whistling wind.
After a while, Li Xi couldn't bear it anymore. The northwest wind was too strong.
Li Xi half covered her face and said, "Alright, the wind is too strong, let's go."
Gu Jingzhi looked at her squinting her eyes and covering her face, and chuckled, "Let's go home."
"Has there been any news from Doctor Wu?" Li Xi knew that Gu Jingzhi had arranged people around Doctor Wu.
"Not yet, but they should be soon. Calculating the time, they should be in the southwest."
……
Gu Jingzhi's guess was correct, Doctor Wu and his group had indeed arrived in the southwest.
Because the destination of this trip was on someone else's territory, after Doctor Wu and his party arrived in the southwest, they first went to the Southwest General's Mansion to visit Song Yan.
Song Yan already knew about their arrival, but when he first saw Doctor Wu and his group, he still pretended to be surprised.
"General Song." Doctor Wu bowed.
Song Yan quickly reached out his hand to help him up. "No need to be so polite. You must be Wu Daoqing, Doctor Wu, right? I have heard of your great name a long time ago. Come in, please."
Doctor Wu certainly did not come alone on this trip, but since it was a visit, he did not bring many people with him. He only brought two guards assigned to him by Gu Jingzhi.
Song Yan glanced at the two guards behind Doctor Wu, his eyes moved slightly, their bodies were straight, their steps were steady, they were obviously two martial artists, and their temperament showed that they had served in the military.
After taking a look, Song Yan naturally withdrew his gaze and led Doctor Wu in with a smile.
Song Yan took Doctor Wu to the lobby. After they sat down, Doctor Wu told Song Yan the purpose of his visit.
"My group came here just to verify the efficacy of the new medicine. Since we are in General Song's territory, I came here specifically to say hello."
Song Yan motioned to the person behind him to serve tea, and said kindly, "Doctor Wu, have some tea.
You are here to help the world, so I will help you. If you need any help, just tell me and I will definitely help you."
Another new medicine. A dark light flashed in Song Yan's eyes, but he still looked kind. Gu Changfeng brought out new medicines one after another, and Wu Daoqing came to the southwest to try new medicines again. Could he be the person who refined the medicine behind the scenes?
In fact, it is not impossible. Wu Daoqing's medical skills are indeed good.
But no matter whether he is the person behind the scenes or not, Song Yan will not refuse at this moment. He is a doctor, and may be a doctor who can help him. He will naturally not offend him, but will win him over instead.
Regardless of whether he is the person behind the medicine making, he must know who that person is. As long as he joins his team, would he still be afraid of not knowing the identity of the person who made the medicine?
"Thank you for your kindness, General Song, but I do hope that General Song can help me."
"Doctor Wu, please speak up. In this southwest area, this general still has the final say."
"Thank you again, General Song. We are here to test drugs for treating malaria and miasma, so we hope General Song can show us the way and make things easier for us."
"What!" Song Yan stood up from the stool and looked at Doctor Wu in shock. "What did you say? Treating miasma?!"
